avi to video tape
I videoed a man’s life story using two cameras. 6 sessions at 1 hour each.
equels 12 tapes.
He wants to review the 6 hours to know what he wants to keep. The final product will be a 2 hour DVD.
He doesn’t have a mini dv camera or anything to play/view the tapes on.
I thought the best way for him to review them would be…..I could put the first 1 hour session (which includes two camera) onto the time line and do a quick basic edit of them together, then add another session onto the same timeline and do the same which would equel two hours on the timeline. Then render to avi and then Print To Tape onto a 2 hour vhs video tape for him to preview. Do this process 3 times to get the 6 sessions for a total of 3 vhs video tapes. Then he could preview them and use the vhs counter/time display to document where he basically wants the final edits.
Does this process make sense or is there a better way to do it. Thanks for your opinions…………. -

It would be much easier to make a window dub (copy with on-screen time code) right from the camcorder to VHS.

Seconding Gary, you MUST have original time code burned into your vhs dubs to avoid a world of pain. Nobody has ever depended on a the counter of a VHS player for edit decisions more than once… it hurts too much and takes way too long.
If your camcorder won’t give you a timecode window to dub onto VHS, there’s a way in Vegas. This is video fx you apply at the event level (to each clip).
If your subject is doing a content edit, they probably don’t need to simultaneously see a 2nd camera angle (if at all).
